Hi Vulcan - a very good question you have posed! One of the sub-forums in the Public Access Area is for Kedron Camp Spots. Please feel free to post reviews and comments on your favourite camp-spots, together with photos and videos.
My only request is that you keep the size of photo,s and particularly videos at a moderate level. I am certainly happy for you to put links to YouTube, which has a very limited impact on the Forum file sizing.
Please don't hesitate to contact me using the Support pages when you are logged in, if you have any questions or problems.
Cheers
Lea A.

I know exactly what you mean Chris - and you have to make sure that you take with you in the car anything that you might need during the day - books, magazines etc. It's a pain - but worth it for the lifestyle
-
Thanks for the report Chris, sounds like you are having a wonderful time.
-
Well hell - that's a relief

Welcome to the Forum Mark, you will thoroughly enjoy putting your new van through its paces when it rolls out of the factory. I especially like the suggestion of Rain Water harvesting in the future, sounds really exciting. A lot of Kedron owners carry around lots of bits and pieces to achieve that aim, so to have something that is perhaps more integrated would be amazing.
Cheers

I'm with you Tony - we learned that lesson a long time ago in our camper trailer days. Ordinary garden hose is just not up to the job.

Sunbakers, budgie smugglers!!!! Stop it Chris, you're scaring me!!!

Chris, I have to agree with your statement about the Hema support staff. I've had a Hema HN6 for 2 or 3 years now and I have never had a problem that Robert and the team could not help me with. The Knowledgebase on the support site is excellent as well.
I'd love to upgrade to the HN7, but there's nothing wrong with my HN6, so I can't justify the expense - damn!

I learnt one message early, and the hard way! All of the above ideas work, and work well. BUT, never, ever, ever, put a screwtop container of coffee grounds in the freezer to stay fresh. At least, make sure you have a rubber band around it. If you don't, the jar will unscrew, spilling coffee everywhere. The coffee grounds will freeze to all the freezer surfaces, shake into all the inaccessible areas, and you will be finding the odd bits of coffee 5 years later! (: At least coffee smells good!

G'day Reece
You should have a great time on your trip - you will be travelling through some beautiful country in both states. Rick and I traversed the Great Central from west to east a couple of years ago without any problems - but conditions can change from day to day - depending on the weather particularly. What is one day a smooth (ish!) dirt road can turn to a muddy slurry with the addition of some rain! Before setting out on such a trip, a good read through the following Main Roads web sites will help by giving current and future road-works, as well as those roads which are currently closed for one reason or another. These are both official government sites (and that's all I'm going to say about that!) Another way of checking is to contact the communities that lie along the Great Central. Locals can be a great resource. Don't forget to get the relevant permits as well.
We also got a lot of really good information from the Great Central Road site
Travel safely and don't forget to put up a trip report when you get back.
Cheers

Welcome to the Group Mal and Sandra. I'm sure that you will find lots of useful information on the Forum, as well of lots of people willing to give advice on just about any topic you like regarding travel and caravanning, Kedrons in particular of course.
Cheers

Thanks for the advice folks. The swearing and cussing part has already been taken care of, but I'm quite sure there will be more. We start a new house-sit in a couple of days, and that's when the deed will be attempted. I'm being brave, but I plan on hiding out somewhere - looking after the calves perhaps?
Cheers

The light shown in the photo below sits above our café-style dining table. We had it changed from the original halogen bulb to LED several years ago. Unfortunately, the LED's have given up the ghost.
So, my question - does anyone know how to remove the mounting from the cupboard (assuming that is necessary) so that we can replace the LED fitting?
Thanks in advance
-
Sounds like a mini-gathering in the works? Enjoy!

G'day Cargo05
I'll leave all the technical van stuff to other members, but as Webmaster, I do want to advise you on Membership matters. If you click on the following link
a series of articles will be displayed for you. The three most important from your point of view are flagged at the top of the page. If you read them from 01 to 03, you will be given a clear idea of both the benefits of Financial Membership and (when you order your new Kedron
) how to join the Group.
Looking forward to seeing your contributions on the forum and meeting you on the road somewhere.
Rick and I have been travelling in our Mar 2008 ATV (BigBird) since new. The van is home and we love her. We have had occasional problems (who doesn't), but we also completely trust the guys at the Kedron factory to do what is necessary. From a personal perspective, I can't recommend Kedron highly enough - both van and support-wise.
Cheers

Hi Chris - you've planned what sounds like a great trip. At this stage, we are due in Minbrie in mid-May, so hopefully we can catch up with you either before you go, or if you plan on coming down the Eyre on the way west. You know that there is a really, really good free and social camp at Minbrie.
Cheers

Hi Greg, David and Kerry
Good to see you joining in the Forum - it's the best way to get to know others and the information they can give up. If you then go on to become a Financial Member, you can get the most out of the forum and also join in the Gatherings. Believe me when I say, the gatherings are the best!
Cheers

"And we never had a whole Mars bar until 1993"!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
1930s,40's, 50's, and 60's
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank Sherry while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos...
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, bread and dripping, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.
Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking..
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds , KFC, Subway or Nandos.
Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn't open on a Sunday, somehow we didn't starve to death!
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner store and buy Toffees, Gobstoppers and Bubble Gum.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter, milk from the cow, and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O..K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of old prams and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and dens and played in river beds with matchbox cars.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo Wii , X-boxes, no video games at all, no 999 channels on SKY ,
no video/dvd films, or colour TV
no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
Lawsuits from these accidents.
Only girls had pierced ears!
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns at Easter time....
We were given air guns and catapults for our 10th birthdays,
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
Mum didn't have to go to work to help dad make ends meet because we didn't need to keep up with the Jones's!
Not everyone made the rugby/football/cricket/netball team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! Getting into the team was based on
MERIT
Our teachers used to hit us with canes and gym shoes and throw the blackboard rubber at us if they thought we weren't concentrating ......
We can string sentences together and spell and have proper conversations because of a good, solid three R's education.
Our parents would tell us to ask a stranger to help us cross the road.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law!
Our parents didn't invent stupid names for their kids like 'Kiora' and 'Blade' and 'Ridge' and 'Vanilla'
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL !
And YOU are one of them!
CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
PS -The big type is because your eyes are not too good at your age anymore
